Virginia Madsen, Botox Babe

Ellen Page may still be in talks with a certain cosmetics company for a deal, but it seems another excellent actress has already taken one:
Today, we learned that Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen is the new face and spokeswoman... of Botox.
The actress will star in the company's print ads and television commercials, which debut at a party next week - along with (seriously) a PSA on behalf of the League of Women Voters, starring Ms. Madsen.
We're not sure how voting and vetoing wrinkles go together, but the whole thing gets us inspired:
Maybe more women would vote if it was part of a spa experience? There could be the Mani-Pedi Primary, a massage for liberals where you're totally naked, a massage for conservatives where the masseuse doesn't even touch you, just tells you sternly to feel better...
Oh, we could make millions.

Botox Mom Kerry Campbell’s story keeps getting sketchier. Just to catch you up on the details so far: She told the Sun back in March that she injects her eight-year-old daughter with Botox so that she’ll become a star. Last week she appeared on Good Morning, America and allowed her daughter to be interviewed; the girl admitted that, yes, the injections hurt. Then a San Francisco paper reported that the woman’s name might not even be Kerry Campbell, nor does she live in the Bay Area. But supposedly officials had taken her daughter, Britney, away from her.
Now she’s popped back up in the Sun again, apologizing profusely and “wailing.” She told the Sun, "I am going to seek therapy for my obsession with looks so I will no longer push my insecurities about appearance on to her." She explained that she never wanted to hurt Britney and thought she was helping her.

Filipino pop star Charice, who is 18 but could easily pass for 15, recently got Botox. Unsurprisingly, this has caused some controversy.
According to the AP, Charice was injected with the wrinkle-reducing toxin "to look fresh on camera" in preparation for her upcoming debut as Rachel Berry's rival on "Glee." Celebrity plastic surgeon Vicki Belo, who injected Charice on camera, told ABS-CBN television that the teen pop tart got Botox as well as a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure to make her "naturally round face" more narrow. Charice herself told ABS-CBN that the procedures were part of her prep before filming the hit Fox TV show.

Hard to believe that we were shocked by makeup for eight-year-olds and titillating Vogue Enfants spreads. In a story that we sincerely hope is a load of BS (it was featured in UK tab The Sun), a mother in the UK proudly admits to giving her eight-year-old daughter, Britney, Botox injections to increase her chances of becoming a star. Britney is apparently active on the child pageant scene.
Kerry (no last name mentioned) is a “beautician” in the UK who buys Botox and other fillers from friends and the internet, then injects her daughter’s face with them every three months. Oh, but she tests them all on herself first, so it’s perfectly safe.
Mom told The Sun: “I know one day she will be a model, actress, or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer.” If you haven’t yet passed out from shock, she then said this:
